Working with Children and Young People Taster Day

About the day

These exciting and interactive days will give your Year 12 and 13 students the opportunity to explore the wide range of subjects we offer relating to working with children and young people. Your students will be able to find out more about specific subjects by taking part in taster sessions, showcasing what it is like to be a student with us. Students will hear from experts in education studies, teacher training, specialists in SEND and other areas.

Students will have the opportunity to see the facilities where our 'Outstanding' Ofsted rated courses are taught and gain insights into placement opportunities. Students will also get the chance to speak to recent graduates who are working in various roles within the sector.
